Got it leveled and packed in.
Now the fun begins. Putting down the sod.
I did all the extra work because I like zoysia. Can't grow grass from seed, It grows then dies in August because it doesn't irritate when I should.

I only wish I could find someone who wants to work. I have to take many breaks putting down the sod. Green side is good advice. Another upside, I don't have a belong to a health club for exercise.

I know we kid you a lot about your Terrible-mites, but I gotta say, that's a real nice job of stripping sod. Unless you cheated, and did it with the Kubota. LOL
 
Actually I cut sod with 12 inch Ryan Jr.
Then used terramite to push sod to south side.
This pic I cut the zoysia sod for pole barn drive and used it to repair yard from construction of barn. Someday I'll figure out how to add more weight to front in and attempt to keep it from shaking so much. I've made every adjustment in attempt to minimize shaking without success.

The good old days of going to the apartment complex south of town and getting workers is over. Now they only want the $20 an hour factory jobs.
 
Now is the time I would go to my local Home Depot, or any number of street corners, and hire a day worker. Stan
 
So George do you have to go cross ways to get the pieces cut. Do you think or remember the pictures I sent. Maybe this one I have has a cutter that makes that cut cross-ways ever now and then?
 
Jm
This cutter has a very small serial number. Guessing this may have been Ryan's first generation. I have to go at right angle to make my cuts.
It came with a heavier 7 hp cast iron engine. This is an aluminum 5 hp. That's why I think it's needs more weight up front. George
 
Thanks, I am going to get that one of mine in here and take a look. I have plenty of motors just have to find time.

Can you blame them? That shiny fifty-cent piece you're offering won't even cover the cost of them walking outside.

One common thread I've noticed from people who complain that nobody wants to work is that their idea of pay is stuck in the 1950's.

I understand, you can't afford to pay competitive wages. I'm in the same boat. There just isn't that kind of money in farming.

You gotta realize that a dollar doesn't go as far as it used to.

1950's. ?
It extends way into the 1980's LOL.
Even for many companies that are still owned by the founder.
Pay, benefits and policies are from the same era.
And they wonder why they can't keep the workers they want.
The competition for employees loves those companies as they provide somewhat trained employees.

07, you hit the nail on the head. There are a lot of business owners who think that just because they have taken a huge risk to start a business and work 90 hours a week that they should earn more than their employees. They need to face the reality that they are there to ensure that their employees get a good wage and that they will make one themselves only when they make everything work right.
